The City of Xenia is testing a new traffic calming layout on Bellbrook Avenue between US-35 and Industrial Boulevard to help reduce speeding and improve safety along the corridor.
Traffic cones have been used to test different configurations over the past several weeks. Because the initial layout has not significantly reduced vehicle speeds, a new layout will be tested beginning the week of August 31.
The new configuration will create narrowed “chokepoints” at four locations along Bellbrook Avenue, allowing traffic to pass while encouraging drivers to slow down.
The City will monitor vehicle speeds and gather feedback to determine whether the approach is effective. Depending on the results, the City may replace the cones with removable concrete curb blocks or return the roadway to its existing configuration.
Residents and business owners along the corridor can contact the City’s Planning and Zoning Division with questions or feedback.
